# Points Season 1 of Backpack Exchange’s points program started on March 21, 2025, and ended on May 29, 2025. Season 2 of Backpack Exchange’s points program started on July 3, 2025. Points are distributed to users on a weekly basis based on their activity across all products on the exchange. The criteria for points is updated on a continuous basis and intentionally opaque. The goal of the points program is to reward users who contribute to Backpack’s growth. Ranks are season-specific, meaning the rank you achieve in one season remains permanently tied to that season. When a new season starts, all users begin earning points from scratch to determine their rank for the new season. Each season has the same rank tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Challenger. Points are distributed every Friday at 02:00 UTC. Distributions are based on weekly activity ending Thursdays at 00:00 UTC. Backpack maintains the right to adjust previous point distributions at its sole discretion. A snapshot was taken on March 20, 2025, at approximately 09:00 UTC for the Legacy Drop, allocated to historical Backpack Exchange users since the platform’s inception in late 2023. There was a bonus drop of 10 million points distributed to users who continued to trade and remain active during the off-season period between Season 1 and Season 2.
